CSA Consensus Assessment Initiative - Hosted by Bank of America

CSA Consensus Assessment Initiative

Lack of security control transparency is a leading inhibitor to adoption of cloud services. The Cloud Security Alliance is developing an open Security Consensus Assessments solution with the goal of providing an industry-accepted way to document what security controls exist in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings. Hosted by Bank of America, the CSA will hold a Security Consensus Assessments working session in Chicago on May 12th, 2010. IEEE will assist in facilitating proceedings and providing findings from previous standards working sessions. You may be a Subject Matter Expert who can help shape the industry in creating this deliverable.

This event is intended to create a work product compatible with and synergistic to other activities internal and external to Cloud Security Alliance. Among the organizations attending include:

ISACA

CloudAudit.org

CSA Controls Matrix Working Group

CSA Trusted Cloud Initiative

Shared Assessments (A service of BITS Financial Services Roundtable)
